wiki-research

Autonomously research a topic via multi-round web search, synthesize findings, and file structured results into the Obsidian wiki. Use this skill when the user says "/wiki-research [topic]", "research X", "find everything about Y", "do a deep dive on Z", "autonomous research on X", or wants comprehensive, web-sourced knowledge on a topic filed directly into their wiki.

Quality

Content

82%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

A well-structured, actionable research workflow with strong sequencing, halt conditions, and validation/feedback for batch vault writes. The main weakness is the inlined, somewhat duplicative backend-registry YAML that would benefit from being referenced out.

Suggestions

Move the full 'Starter registry template' YAML to a separate references file and link to it, keeping only a short inline example in SKILL.md to reduce duplication and token cost.

Tighten the Research Backends section by collapsing the two near-identical yt-dlp-transcript examples into one, since they repeat the same invoke template.

Specify concrete defaults or examples for placeholder values like <N>, <N_unique_sources>, and timestamps so the filing templates are fully copy-paste ready.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

Efficient, sectioned, and assumes Claude's competence; the full starter-registry YAML template is somewhat duplicative with the earlier backend example and could be trimmed.

4 / 5

Actionability

Provides concrete YAML frontmatter templates, specific shell commands, and real tool names; minor gaps remain in placeholder timestamps and un-specified N values.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

A clearly sequenced three-round process with explicit halt conditions, a quality checklist, and feedback loops for the batch vault-write operation (e.g., QMD refresh failure handled separately, merge-into-existing checks).

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

Well-organized into clearly signaled sections (Before You Start, Rounds 1–3, Filing, Update Tracking); however the optional backends YAML is fully inlined rather than referenced out to a separate file, leaving minor organization gaps.

Description

91%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

A strong description that crisply states three concrete capabilities and pairs them with an explicit, trigger-rich 'Use when' clause. Minor overlap risk with general research skills is the only weakness.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Names the domain plus three concrete actions — 'research a topic via multi-round web search', 'synthesize findings', and 'file structured results into the Obsidian wiki' — with only minor coverage gaps.

4 / 5

Completeness

Clearly answers both 'what' (research, synthesize, file) and 'when' with an explicit 'Use this skill when' clause and concrete trigger phrases.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

Comprehensive natural trigger coverage including '/wiki-research [topic]', 'research X', 'find everything about Y', 'do a deep dive on Z', and 'autonomous research on X' — phrases a user would naturally say.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

Clear niche (Obsidian wiki filing of web research) with distinct triggers; minor overlap risk with generic research skills due to the 'comprehensive web-sourced knowledge' phrasing.
